Rapid NPI & Stabilization: Streamline design processes with concurrent product and process design transfer. reducing new product ramp time, and bringing innovative technologies more rapidly to market.Effective change management is essential to gaining process control and enforcement, significantly reducing variability. Camstar provides this control with centralized authorship of manufacturing process changes that can be rapidly and accurately deployed across your enterprise, allowing you to improve time to market without sacrificing quality.

Benefits for Operations

Improved Productivity: Eliminate or reduce non-value added Device History Record activities related to data collection, calculations, and documentation review. An electronic Device History Record (eDHR) enables operators to focus time on making product rather than filling out paperwork.

Increased Throughput: Significantly increase overall throughput through real-time granular visibility into manufacturing and WIP, better process enforcements, and right first time production.

Increased Product/Process Yield: Reduce scrap and rework and improve first pass yield through systematic product/process enforcements by enforcing accurate data collections, usage of only authorized materials, utilization of the right procedures and equipment, certification of operators, and more.

Reduced Costs: Lower the costs of poor quality and good quality in manufacturing through reduction and/or redeployment of manpower, elimination of paper records (e.g., scanning, storage, paper, ink), and error-proofing at each step of the process (automated “poke-a-yoke”).

Improved Ramp to Volume & Line Balancing: Decrease Ramp time and improve Line Balance through process standardization, process enforcement, and real-time visibility into operations.

Product and Process Traceability: Trace any product, lot or unit and its processes across the supply chain, a factory, multiple factories, or the entire enterprise. Traceability data includes forwards and backwards genealogy of materials consumed, processes and equipment utilized, parametric and quality data collected, exceptions, rework, dates and times, and electronic signatures.

Reduce Risk Exposure: Reduce risk with systematic enforcement and forward and backward genealogy that assures your operator has the material, process parameters and data to make real time, in-line decisions.
Reduce Line and Site Variability: Standardize processes across operations within a site and between sites ensuring product consistency.

Better Traceability: Search across all manufacturing and quality related data related to a work order, lot, unit, operator, material, piece of equipment, etc. in a matter of seconds.

Reduce Quality Incidents/Complaints/Recalls: Prevent quality escapes due to human error with systematic enforcements and electronic Device History Records (eDHR) prevent quality escapes due to human error. And if the worst were to happen, recall exposure is significantly reduced via full traceability allowing for detailed recall containment of the affected – and only the affected – material.

Benefits for IT

Adaptable User Interfaces: Easily and rapidly configure user interfaces for each stakeholder that matches the way they work. Increase user speed and eliminate unnecessary steps during manufacturing.

Single Manufacturing Standard: Standardize IT systems across all operations, accounting for and better enabling multiple concurrent manufacturing processes and assets.

Reduced Total Cost of Ownership: A single, modular enterprise manufacturing IT platform eliminates disparate and redundant systems and applications increasing system value while lowering total cost of ownership. Further reduce costs with significant out-of-the-box functionality and best practices avoiding custom coding and development.

Exceeded Expectations: Provide your stakeholders with the robust, modern IT systems that meet their needs for MES, eDHR and visibility. Satisfy their requirements for ease of use and rapid configuration. Exceed user expectations with a configurable UI.

Full Scalability: A complete enterprise platform architecture for manufacturing, quality, and intelligence that grows and adapts with you. Supports frequent change and reconfiguration – managed by users. Assure your company with top performance and 24 X 365 reliability.
